Let's give Rakdos some combat stats! I felt like making this a little flavorful. I think it'd be cool to see a female companion to one of the witches. The idea is sorta random though. No idea where I'd go with it.
Vilra, Witche's Companion BRR
Legendary Creature. - Human Assassin
If you have the least amount of creatures or tie for the least amount of creatures, Vilra gains first strike and death touch.
If you have the least amount of life or tie for the least amount of life, Vilra gains tap: discard a card at random, draw a card.
3/1
There needs to be creatures with the witch creature type, dammit!

To be honest, at LC status you could go 1BR with the cost and be fine. The only thing that's iffy is the second ability, which is costed so that you can be use it as card-draw if you have no cards in hand. That's mechanically consistent with black, but not exactly Rakdos flavor.
Also, the possessive of witch is witch's. Alt spelling is fine, though, for an archaic feel.

Also, I doubt we'll see a witch creature type. Wizards has been reasonably consistent about typing cards named "witch" as wizards, shamans, or even clerics.

Just to clarify, this card is an assassin and the name only references the witches of rakdos. Ie: Lyzolda, the Blood Witch

I think the ping ability would make more sense, because rakdos like being hellbent, and the draw is op if hellbent.
Maybe add a life cost to the abilities to tie the card together.

Alternatively, her second ability could be "deals one damage to creature or player"
